At an earlier hearing Mr Justice Hickinbottom ruled the club was 70 per cent liable with Dr Mills 30 per cent liable.

Spurs will not be hit with a fee directly as their 70 per cent portion was incurred by sports physicians they previously employed, who have agreed to indemnify the club.

After granting a compensation order for an undisclosed figure understood to be around £7m, Mr Justice Lewis said: ‘Radwan Hamed was a promising young footballer. At the age of 17 he was playing his first professional match for Tottenham Hotspur.

'Sadly, Radwan suffered from a heart defect and tragically suffered heart attack on the pitch. His heart stopped for many minutes and his brain was starved of oxygen. Thankfully, Radwan survived but he suffered serious injuries.

‘There is a system for scanning and screening heart defects in young footballers. Radwan was scanned and the results indicated he might have a heart defect. An earlier hearing found insufficient communication between doctors who carried out the scan and doctors at Tottenham Hotspur.

‘The compensation will need to compensate for injury and for loss of earnings. More importantly it will need to ensure his future needs are met. I would like to pay tribute to Radwan Hamed’s family.

'His father and mother and two sisters are a caring and loving family. Mr and Mrs Hamed have cared for Radwan since his tragic injury. They have shown great love and devotion.

‘The proposed settlement provides for payment of compensation and interest. I am satisfied the proposed settlement is a fair just and appropriate settlement.

Spurs issued a statement following an earlier hearing. It read: ‘The club wholeheartedly regrets that a former employee, as adjudged, was remiss in their duties to Radwan.

'This judgement will hopefully now secure the best treatment and care for him.’
